This is from the 2008 show. Just so you know what to expect.

 

A bit off topic, but do they have "real" air shows anywhere around here? I used to go to them all the time in Cali as a kid.

 

I went to one of these a couple of years back and they were pretty cool. Do they still do the event where they try to see who can clip the streamer off of the other plane? Multiple planes in the air hoping that it doesn't turn into a demolition derby.
